Is there supposed to be a section that loads by default? Also I needed to remove the opening slashes from the links to the javascript and css files, for example changing src=”/js/jquery-1.6.4.min.js” to src=”js/jquery-1.6.4.min.js”

Nice job on the post! It really resonated with me as I have done the Sencha Touch, JQuery mobile hustle myself and still don’t feel like I have found a home. I really want to unify my codebases so that I can have the best foot forward in both Mobile and Web without having completely separate codebases. I think the companies that do this right will have a huge leg up on those that don’t and glad to hear there is someone else out there putting themselves under the bus to make it happen.

I’d love to chat with you more about this post and possibly see if you had any freelance time. I could really use a mind like yours to help me get my mobile and web situation sorted out and more robust. Either way I appreciate the time you put into this and wish you luck in the framework hustle.

But .live() is not only deprecated from jQuery 1.7+, but was already considered a poor performer to begin with. I would recommend using .on() as a delegator, or the older (not officially deprecated, but no longer recommended) .delegate().

$(‘body’).on(‘touchstart’, ‘[data-href]’, function() { … });

In terms of performance… honestly, not much to be gained here. body as a listener is about as broad as document as listener (per live) and you might want to just use $(document) after all. But it’s not deprecated.

Setting the body section margin to something wider than 10 px would allow for fat-fingered dudes like me to scroll without accidentally activating any of the list items.

I noticed in your demo, you aren’t doing any touch event handling, just treating everything as a link. Any thoughts on how your approach would deal with management of touch events or if anyone has built backbone.js modules for touch?

Agree understanding more about the framework and unique result are huge benefits of rolling your own.
